Watching the 2014 Olympic games, has been amazing, as the athletes representing our country are proving why #WeAreWinter.  I just want to thank Team Canada for showing our country’s true colours this year at the games, as honest, kind and thoughtful people who overall understand the meaning of good sportsmanship.

This morning Canadians are up exceptionally early to watch our amazing hockey team plays against Sweden for the gold medal. Come on boys – make us proud!! – (follow up: we won gold! congrats to all of the medal winners)

During the holiday season, there is really no better feeling than that of giving. A gift is something that is both special for everyone, and to see the joy that your kindness brings to others is truly breathtaking.

This season give a gift that means a little more. Billy Talent and Bluenotes have teamed up and designed a limited edition graphic tee, with all proceeds going to Kids Help Phone. The tee is only $10 and makes the perfect stocking stuffer.

Over the past 16 years Bluenotes has already raised over $1.6 million dollars for Kids Help Phone! So buy a tee, give a gift and help a kid! Available both in-store and online.

When times are hard, I’ve always said that wearing something bright can cheer people up, or at least break the ice. Interesting outfits can spark conversations. Try to cheer up the room next time your office is stressed at crunch time!
